“I’m Fading Down” Lyrics

I feel out of time I’m fading down Gone far away Into silent lands Memories slowly gleaming Where soft voices dies It all seemed out of control I could not break The depth of immensity Now I can finally lie down A death crowned by it’s nothingness A reasonable dead man Who knew how to go

These sparse, poetic lyrics capture a profound sense of release, and acceptance in the face of overwhelming immensity. The vocalist embraces fading away not with fear, but with the dignity of “a reasonable dead man who knew how to go.”

The Sound of Catharsis

Ethereal Snake’s work occupies a unique space between ambient, cinematic soundtrack, and experimental sound design. The OST’s power lies in its unflinching confrontation of darkness while offering sonic catharsis. Where many therapeutic playlists seek only comfort, this soundtrack dares to sit with desolation, and in doing so, creates space for genuine healing.

The collaboration between Tom Bourgeois, Yoann Roussin, and Nicolas Pierre produces a cohesive vision: music that doesn’t shy away from the complexity of human suffering, yet ultimately guides the listener toward a strange, beautiful peace.
